son, don't mess around

Chapter 127 The Whereabouts of the Paper Kite

Lin Jiangnian understood it when he saw the little boy's eyes glowing and gradually no longer concealing his excitement.

The waiter in this store really set his mind on Xiaozhu and Lin Qingqing.

"It seems that I still underestimate your black shop."

Lin Jiangnian squinted at the little girl in front of him, with a half-smile.

Xiao Er was stunned with a smile on his face: "Young master, you have misunderstood us. This is not a black shop... This small shop operates with integrity and clearly marked prices. It is by no means a black shop."

"You are not considered a black shop, so what is a black shop?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at him: "Could it be that you really take me for a fool?"

The smile on Xiao Er's face gradually disappeared, and he realized something.This 'taken advantage' in front of me doesn't seem stupid?
"Guest officer, what do you mean?" Xiao Er's eyelids twitched, and at the same time, he made a secret gesture with his hand hidden behind him.

"I originally wanted to see how dark your black shop is, but I didn't expect it to be really unexpected!"

Lin Jiangnian said with emotion: "300 taels? Are you really able to speak? Darker than me?"

300 taels of silver, in some places in the Daning Dynasty, some ordinary people could not earn this amount in their entire lives.

The waiter in this shop is really ruthless!

Xiao Er realized that the 'taken advantage' in front of him seemed to be going back on his word, and his face changed immediately: "You want to...repudiate your debt?"

"Legacy?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head lightly: "I never default on my debts, but if you want my money, it depends on how much money you have."

Smiling at the shop waiter, Lin Jiangnian got up slowly, and patted the round buttocks of the little maid beside him.

"Let's go."

Being idle and bored along the way, he ran into a black shop, and Lin Jiangnian was naturally happy to chat with the waiter.Now that he is full of food and drink, and has confirmed the purpose of the waiter in this shop, Lin Jiangnian doesn't need to worry about the rest.

The little girl was still watching the play, but was suddenly attacked by His Highness in public, her little face was immediately ashamed and red, her little eyes were full of resentment, and she got up aggrieved.

Seeing that 'Fat Sheep' was about to leave, the waiter in the shop was in a hurry and stopped pretending.

"Want to go? It's not that easy!"

"I owe money to our shop, if you don't pay back the money, none of you will leave!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen strong men thugs poured in from outside the door, blocking the way of Lin Jiangnian and others.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhu's blushing face suddenly turned pale with fright, subconsciously took a step back, and hid behind His Highness.Lin Jiangnian's eyes were indifferent, looking at these strong men. What surprised him was that although these strong men's thugs looked imposing, they all had bruised noses and swollen faces?

It looks extremely weird!

"Catch them for me!"

Seeing that the medicine didn't work, the waiter couldn't care less about it.

This 'big fat sheep' must be caught today.

As several strong men approached, Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and stood motionless.A figure passed by like an afterimage, and then Lin Qingqing stood in front of Lin Jiangnian at some point.

"Dian... son, you go first, this place is handed over to the subordinates."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and nodded slightly: "Check it out."

After all, Lin Jiangnian took Xiaozhu out of the restaurant.

Those strong men wanted to chase, but Lin Qingqing blocked them. What they saw was Lin Qingqing's indifferent face, and her growing aura.

"call out!"

The sound of a long sword being unsheathed.

Then, accompanied by a series of screams and wailing.

After less than a quarter of the incense burning time, the restaurant was silent.Lin Qingqing stood where she was, her eyes were cold and her face was expressionless.

And not far away, the waiter looked at the scene in front of him with dull eyes, unbelievable.When Lin Qingqing's eyes fell on him, the waiter suddenly trembled all over.

"thump!"

His legs gave way, and he fell to his knees on the ground.

"Heroine...have mercy!"

"..."

in the town.

Lin Jiangnian led Xiaozhu wandering on the street.

Although the town is small, it is not deserted, and there are quite a lot of goods sold on the ordinary streets.Passing by a few small stalls, I bought some trinkets for Xiaozhu.Although it's worthless, the little maid was full of joy and her smile was like a flower. I don't know where to throw the little bit of resentment before.

But at some point, Lin Qingqing's figure came back behind Lin Jiangnian, motionless.

It was only when Lin Jiangnian turned around that he noticed her existence.

"How is it?"

"Check it out."

Lin Qingqing said with a blank expression: "As expected by Your Highness, this is indeed a black shop... This shop specializes in slaughtering merchants along the way, and at the same time, it is secretly doing some dirty things..."

The waiter in the shop was not a strong person at all, after seeing Lin Qingqing's methods, he admitted his mistake on the spot and honestly explained everything.

"Human Trafficking?!"

After listening to Lin Qingqing's report, Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that this small black shop was still engaged in the business of abducting and selling women?
"In this way, the power behind this black shop may not be small!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly.

This place is not too far from Xunyang County, but there is a black shop in such a small town, and the backers behind it are not small.Even... Most of them are inseparable from the local government.

Collusion between government and businessmen has long been commonplace.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Lin Qingqing said; "How to deal with them?"

"If they are just killing customers to make money, it is understandable. But they kidnap and traffic people, force them into prostitution, such vile behavior, I have to deal with it!"

Lin Jiangnian sneered.

Selling women and forcing girls into prostitution, such bad behaviors can already be regarded as the wrath of both men and gods, and they have violated the laws of the Daning Dynasty long ago.Now that it happened, he naturally had to take care of it.

"Since it's a black shop, let's seal it up first, and then check the backing forces behind them!"

Lin Jiangnian said lightly: "Uproot the forces behind them, don't let any one go!"

"Yes!"

"..."

It is indeed not in Lin Jiangnian's character to meddle in other people's affairs, but since this happened to him, he couldn't just sit idly by.Such a thing can happen in Xunyang County, which is enough to show that the prefect of Xunyang County has neglected his duty.

Lin Qingqing is worthy of being a subordinate trained by Zhi Yuan herself, and her efficiency has never disappointed Lin Jiangnian.

The black shop was closed, and all the thugs in the restaurant were wiped out. Even Xie Yongqing, who was lying on the bed, was thinking about how to take revenge on those two girls from yesterday.In the next second, someone put a knife on his neck.

"thump."

Xie Yongqing, who was covered in wounds, was thrown into the yard in embarrassment. He looked up in horror, and saw several figures in black armor standing in the yard.

With a cold and stern breath, full of killing intent.

Xie Yongqing trembled suddenly, his expression frightened.

This, what's going on?

These black-armored figures can be seen as having a lot of background... He, when did they provoke such a character?

At this moment, a young man appeared on the main seat in front of him.

He was sitting lazily on a chair in brocade robes, his eyes were indifferent, and his handsome face was casually looking at him.

"Are you the owner of this black shop?"

When Xie Yongqing saw this young man and the two beautiful women standing beside him, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly realized something.

Again, got into trouble again? !
At this moment, he was so angry that he wanted to slap the waiter to death.

Day by day is nothing, nothing but trouble for him!
"My lord, my lord...this master..."

Xie Yongqing squeezed out an extremely ugly smile: "The little one, right, is the owner of the inn..."

Lin Jiangnian's eyes were still casual: "I heard that two women came to your restaurant yesterday?"

Xie Yongqing's eyelids twitched: "Yes, yes?"

"So, the injuries on your body were caused by them?"

The expression on Xie Yongqing's face was stiff, but he still squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Yes, yes..."

Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly, that's right.

From the waiter to the thugs to the boss in this black shop, everyone is scarred and scarred.I was still puzzled before, but it wasn't until the waiter in the shop explained that everything came to light.

Just the day before Lin Jiangnian, this black shop was just smashed by someone!

"I ask you."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him again: "Where did those two women from yesterday go?"

A trace of uneasiness suddenly emerged in Xie Yongqing's heart: "Little, the little one doesn't know?"

"Oh?"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "You don't know?"

Xie Yongqing tremblingly said: "Yesterday, after those two heroines smashed up the shop yesterday, they just, left... The little one doesn't know where they went."

Xie Yongqing would naturally not admit it.

However, Lin Jiangnian sneered: "You boss, you are not honest!"

Xie Yongqing's heart skipped a beat: "Small, I don't understand what you mean..."

"not understand?"

Lin Jiangnian showed him a playful smile: "You will understand later!"

Xie Yongqing was startled, but before he could react, he saw a strong man approaching with an expressionless face.

"no, do not want……"

"Help, help..."

"..."

Restaurant, lobby.

Lin Qingqing stood aside respectfully: "Your Highness, he has fully explained that the owner of this restaurant is indeed related to the government and county government in Xunyang County..."

"And those two women who came yesterday..."

Lin Qingqing paused for a moment, and a gleam of light appeared in her eyes: "According to the description of the boss and the waiter, one of the two women is indeed very likely to be..."

"Paper kites."

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows.

Lin Qingqing nodded, her eyes jumping excitedly: "Unexpectedly, we caught up with Sister Zhiyuan."

Lin Jiangnian was noncommittal.

According to the descriptions of the restaurant owner and the waiter, it was indeed a match.

The woman in the bamboo hat is probably a kite, as for the other... From the description, it looks a bit like the female assassin who just left before.

Calculating the time, the time since the female assassin left is also exactly the same?

Amidst the excitement, Lin Qingqing quickly remembered something, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes: "His Royal Highness, according to the boss's account, the government has already intervened, and Sister Zhi Yuan is very likely to be arrested and taken to the county government prison. Should we help her?" ..."

"That's not necessary!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head lightly.

Lin Qingqing didn't know Zhi Yuan's purpose for coming to Xunyang County, but Lin Jiangnian couldn't be more clear.There are still a few days away from Xunyang County, and Zhiyuan left the palace early, but now Lin Jiangnian has caught up with her. This is enough to show that she must have other goals.

Lin Jiangnian really wanted to see what his little maid was doing!
"Qingqing?"

"Subordinates are here."

Lin Jiang said in a young voice: "Go and investigate secretly first... By the way, don't reveal your whereabouts. Don't act rashly without the order of my son."

Lin Qingqing's eyes were surprised and excited: "This subordinate obeys orders!"

"..."

Chaoyang County.

It is a small county under Xunyang County.

The county seat is not too big, but as the nearest county seat to Xunyang County, it can be considered prosperous.

Chaoyang County Government.

inside the cell.

"They are slandering and assigning blame!"

Inside the cell, Shen Lingjun's face was full of indignation, and his eyes were angry.

After leaving the town and sending Wu Qianqian home safely, Shen Lingjun and the woman in the bamboo hat agreed to go on the road together to Xunyang County.

Unexpectedly, they ran into people from the county government office on the way, and they couldn't help but arrest the two of them back to the county government office and put them in prison.

And the charges for imprisoning them turned out to be... murder?
When did they kill someone? !
Shen Lingjun was angry and terrified, keenly aware of a hint of conspiracy.

"Sister, what shall we do now?"

Shen Lingjun turned her head and looked at the woman in the bamboo hat not far from the cell.Now being framed and imprisoned, the only one she can turn to for help is the woman in the bamboo hat beside her.

In the prison cell, the woman in the bamboo hat was extremely indifferent. The cold face under the bamboo hat quietly looked around and shook her head: "Don't worry!"

wait?
Can this be in a hurry?

Shen Lingjun was so anxious that when she was about to speak, she realized something and was stunned: "You, did you do it on purpose?"

She remembered that she was stopped by the government people before, but the woman in the bamboo hat in front of her didn't seem to intend to resist... With her martial arts, if she didn't want to be caught by the government people, it would be a breeze.

Then the only possibility is... She did it on purpose?
"Probably." The woman in the bamboo hat nodded slightly.

After Shen Lingjun was stunned for a while, she couldn't help asking: "Then, why did you..."

The woman in the bamboo hat didn't answer, but said lightly: "Don't worry, wait a little longer."

Wait?
Shen Lingjun was a little confused.

But being locked up in a cell now, she had no other choice but to wait.

This wait is a whole day.

Waited until it was dark and night fell, and no one came to the cell again.

As if forgotten.

In the silent cell, Shen Lingjun was sitting in the corner, worried. At this moment, she realized that something was wrong.

Being imprisoned inexplicably is probably related to the owner of the restaurant.It must be his cousin who is playing tricks...

Unexpectedly, a small headhunter would have such power.How can he turn black and white, slander and arrest ordinary people at will?

The sky in Xunyang County is really dark!
Just as Shen Lingjun was thinking about a plan to get out, she saw the woman in the bamboo hat in the corner standing up and walking slowly to the door of the cell.

"Ding!"

As she raised her head slightly, the lock on the cell door shattered.

The cell door opened, and the woman in the bamboo hat stepped out of the cell.

Behind him, Shen Lingjun's eyes gradually became dull.

Just, just get away like this?

If you want to escape from prison, tell me earlier, sister, hello!

You made me worry all day, it's hard work, okay?

Shen Lingjun's mood was extremely complicated. When she raised her eyes and saw the woman in the bamboo hat walking away, she reacted suddenly and quickly followed.
